**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Information Technology

## Description

At **GTECH Information Technology**, we deliver enterprise-level digital solutions that combine creativity, technical depth, and flawless execution. From government portals and large-scale websites to immersive event experiences, our team thrives on projects that truly make an impact. We are proud to be named a **Great Place to Work in the UAE** 🌍  
  
**About the role**

GTECH builds and maintains a large portfolio of WordPress websites for brands across the Middle East. We're looking for a hands-on WordPress Specialist who can own a website from design to front-end to back-end,  turning approved designs into pixel-accurate, responsive WordPress builds, and extending them with custom functionality where needed.  

Because so much of our work targets the Middle East market, this role requires a native Arabic speaker who can read and write Arabic, you'll be building and testing right-to-left (RTL) layouts, handling Arabic typography, and making sure bilingual (Arabic/English) sites look and read correctly.  

This is a delivery-focused developer role. You'll work closely with our designers, project managers, and SEO/marketing team to ship clean, fast, secure WordPress sites.  

-   Convert approved designs (Figma / Adobe XD / PSD) into responsive, pixel-accurate WordPress themes.
-   Build and customize WordPress themes and child themes ,  front-end (HTML5, CSS3/SCSS, JavaScript) and back-end (PHP, WordPress APIs).
-   Develop custom functionality: custom post types, taxonomies, and fields using ACF (Advanced Custom Fields); build or extend custom plugins.
-   Build and maintain **Arabic / RTL and bilingual sites,**  correct RTL layouts, Arabic fonts/typography, and multilingual setups (e.g. WPML / Polylang).
-   Work with page builders where relevant (Elementor, Gutenberg / block editor) and know when to build custom instead.
-   Build and maintain WooCommerce stores where required.
-   Optimize sites for speed, Core Web Vitals, responsiveness, and cross-browser compatibility.
-   Apply WordPress security best practices; keep core, themes, and plugins updated and safe.
-   Handle site migrations, staging-to-live deployments, backups, and basic hosting/DNS tasks.
-   Debug and resolve theme, plugin, and performance issues across the existing site portfolio.
-   Use Git for version control and collaborate with the team on a shared workflow.
-   Coordinate with designers, project managers, and the SEO team so builds are on-brief, on-time, and SEO-friendly.

## Requirements

-   3–5 years of hands-on WordPress development experience, ideally in an agency or multi-site environment.
-   **Native Arabic (read & write)** with the ability to build and QA Arabic/RTL and bilingual websites; strong English for team communication.
-   Strong front-end skills: HTML5, CSS3/SCSS, JavaScript (and jQuery), responsive design.
-   Strong WordPress back-end skills: PHP, MySQL, WordPress theme & plugin APIs, hooks/filters.
-   Hands-on experience with ACF, custom post types, and custom fields.
-   Experience taking a design file and producing a clean, faithful, responsive WordPress build.
-   WooCommerce experience.
-   Familiarity with page builders (Elementor and/or Gutenberg blocks).
-   Understanding of WordPress security, performance optimization, and Core Web Vitals.
-   Comfortable with Git and a collaborative development workflow.
-   Reliable remote worker , self-managing, communicative, and able to hit deadlines.  
    

### Nice to have

-   Multilingual plugin experience (WPML, Polylang).
-   Basic on-page SEO awareness (clean markup, schema, page speed).
-   Experience with headless WordPress or REST API / custom API work.
-   Familiarity with a broader stack (Node/React or Laravel),  useful, but this is a WordPress-first role.
-   Experience with CI/CD or automated deployment tools.
-   A portfolio of live WordPress and Arabic/RTL sites.
